Tweet Release: Flight of the Conchords’ I Told You I Was Freaky


FlightOfConchords

The scoop:

It’s possible that over the past several weeks you’ve noticed the reviews slow to a trickle around these parts. We had our reasons! Cookies weren’t involved! Okay, maybe they were! All of us at Tripwire HQ are pleased to introduce to you today a new chapter in our “take” on music criticism—by handing over the keys. Starting this week and every Tuesday hereafter, we’ll be posting a full album stream through our friends over at LaLa. What we’d like you to do is lend us your brainwaves and tweet whatever crosses your mind while listening. Maybe there’s a riff you can’t get out of your head. A lyric? A moment? An image? If you’re feeling ambitious, spend your 124 characters reviewing the record as a whole. Just toss those tweets over to us at @thetripwire and by the end of the week, we’ll cobble together and share the beautiful mess of a madlib it creates. Or, if you’re a complete Luddite/TwitterHater, you can just leave a review in the comments section. We’re flexible. You’re the boss now.

This week’s album up for review is Flight of the Conchords’ I Told You I Was Freaky, sophomore full-length from New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo. Formerly, anyway.

Flight Of The Conchords Have Other Plans

After just wrapping up their second season, Flight Of The Conchords won’t be returning just yet for a third. Rather, this New Zealand duo, once known as “New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo” according to The Tuscaloosa News, has other plans. There’s a possibility of a Christmas special, a film, or even, as Rhys Darby (aka manager Murray Hewitt) puts it, a chance that they’ll “turn it into a stage show and tour the world with it? It’s still a full on ‘who knows?’ scenario!” With the whole thing up in the air (air/flight pun fully intended), for now you can enjoy the season two DVD, on shelves since August 3rd.
